A husband and wife were injured in a fire in their Bensenville home early Thursday morning, fire officials said.

The fire broke out about 4 a.m. in the brick home in the 200 block of Ridgewood Avenue.

The 68-year-old husband and his 64-year-old wife were both taken to Loyola University Medical Center. The man suffered first- and second-degree burns and his wife was treated for anxiety, Fire Chief Mike Spain said.

“At this point we’ve completed the initial investigation and we’re still waiting for results,” Spain said. “It’s a fire of undetermined origins but nothing suspicious.”

Firefighters had finished their work by about 6:20 a.m. with help from seven other fire departments.
